About

NINE INCH NAILS IN CONCERT:

Industrial rock, once a low-flying genre on pop culture’s radar, catapulted to mainstream popularity with the early ‘90s rise of Nine Inch Nails. Although Trent Reznor is the only official member of the group, the band’s rotating lineup doesn't disappoint, bringing a fresh perspective to NIN’s heralded catalog with every performance. Reznor’s live shows are just as fully realized as his studio recordings,  with intense lighting effects, mesmerizing video displays, and a big dose of raw energy. Back on the road for a highly anticipated tour in 2014, fans can expect plenty of experimental synths and heavy instrumentation as the band work their way through classics like “Closer” and newer material from their 2013 album Hesitation Marks.

BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:

Nine Inch Nails is the brainchild of frontman and producer Trent Reznor, who started the project in 1988 as the sole instrumentalist, singer, and songwriter for the band. Described by Spin Magazine as "the most vital artist in music," Nine Inch Nails have lived up to this standard, selling over 20 million albums worldwide over the course of their decade-spanning career. With eight studio albums, 13 Grammy nominations, and two Grammy wins under their belt, Nine Inch Nails are widely credited for bringing industrial rock into the mainstream. After releasing their eighth studio album Hesitation Marks in 2013 –  an exciting new minimalist direction for the band — Nine Inch Nails hit the road once again to deliver hard-hitting performances on their 2014 tour.

FANS WHO BOUGHT TICKETS SAY:

"It was AMAZING. Nine Inch Nails were literally unforgettable. The light shows were awe-inspiring. Trent Reznor sounded amazing, and the set list was pretty much perfect. If NIN ever comes back into town, I'll be buying another ticket. Going to his concert was hands-down, one of the best nights of my life!"

"First time NIN concert and I was very impressed. Excellent music and very entertaining."

"I've been a long-time Nine Inch Nails fan and Trent Reznor and his bandmates did an amazing job. I would watch them over and over if I could. They sound exactly like the music they make in the studio."

    A little NIN/ more Jane's Addiction

    by fenrir on 2009-07-13Molson Amphitheatre - Toronto

    This was my first concert, so I wasn't too sure as what to expect. There was quite a lot of people, being as this was the only Canadian stop for the bands. They started off with Trent Reznor and NIN, and the last song they played was "Hurt". Their song set felt a lot shorter than Jane's Addiction's. I heard afterwards that Trent Reznor wanted Jane's Addiction to be the headliner, and they didn't disappoint. I hadn't heard much of their songs, but their concert set was great. Overall I had a really fun time, but more NIN would have made it an amazing concert.

    nin beats down ja

    by shai on 2009-07-13Molson Amphitheatre - Toronto

    yes jane's brought nin to the party 18 years ago but lets face it - nin is the bigger of the 2 now and should have headlined - how many people think beeen caught stealin is bigger than head like a hole?

    Excellent!!!

    by JohnnyJ on 2009-07-13Molson Amphitheatre - Toronto

    This was a great show! NIN put on an amazing show where they played a set you wouldn't normally hear... it was full of 'B' tracks (like the Reznor/Bowie tune!). If you have a chance to see them on this 'Wave Goodbye' tour you will NOT be disappointed.

    Great show...unexpectedly mellow

    by katiekeener on 2009-07-13Molson Amphitheatre - Toronto

    I was pretty pumped to see both NIN and Jane's Addiction play on the same bill - both bands being so iconic and musically gifted. They certainly didn't disappoint - you could tell that both bands ENJOY playing (having been to more shows than I can count, I can tell pretty quickly those bands that are in it for the money and not so much the music). I was surprised at how mellow both sets were - at first wondering if NIN were toning it down so as not to steal the thunder from JA, but found JA to be just as melodically driven and toned down - even the crowd was mellow. Granted, it was freezing outside! All in all, a great show!

    NINJA 2009 - NIN/Janes Addiction

    by Spazcorn182 on 2009-07-13Molson Amphitheatre - Toronto

    Great Concert from beginning to end. NIN played a great show with many memorable songs. It was good to see Janes back together and rocking it out like old times.

    Nin/Ja

    by js14 on 2009-07-13Molson Amphitheatre - Toronto

    I was mainly there to see NIN. They gave a good performance, but hated the fact that they went first. Not only that, it was still very light out during their set. Jane's Addiction were good.. But got very bored towards the end.

    Amazing event

    by TLM70 on 2009-07-13Molson Amphitheatre - Toronto

    This concert was excellent. I have seen NIN 3 times in last 3 years and this was an exceptional venue and concert. I love NIN and have for all 20 years. I am hoping after some much needed rest for Trent that he will come back and wow us again with his amazing talent. This can't be the end of NIN.

    The NINJA Tour was great. I absolutely enjoyed it. NIN rocked it and so did JA. I would love to see them again together in concert.

    NIN different from JA

    by simpltness on 2009-07-13Molson Amphitheatre - Toronto

    It was great to have both bands togethere and see such a variety of people in the audiance. NIN had everyone "rockig out" while when JA came on it seemed to mellow out the audiance. It was a once and a life time experience.

    Jane's Addiction stole the show!

    by MiniMoo on 2009-07-13Molson Amphitheatre - Toronto

    NINails were truly amazing as usual. However, with such a lapse in time since Jane's played as a full original unit, they were tight, flawless, and fun to watch! I have been waiting a long time (since I first saw Porno for Pyros), to see Jane's live as they are still one of my favourite bands... they truly did not dissapoint!

    Nine Inch Nails still rock

    by Roma on 2009-07-13Molson Amphitheatre - Toronto

    Though I thought Jane's Addiction was very good, Nine Inch Nails were amazing, and dare I say, worthy of the closing slot! If the stories are true and this was the last time I get to see NIN live, I am truly thankful that I got one last chance to see them. If anyone has a chance to see Trent and the guys before this tour ends, I would very highly recommend it!

    Wave goodbye... for now

    by TheTrain on 2009-07-13Molson Amphitheatre - Toronto

    It was an intresting setup for a NIN show. Streetsweeper opened with a nice little set that got the crowd craving some NIN. Unlike some of the other NIN shows I have been to the crowd got really into the opening act, something that was nice to see. Once NIN took the stage it was clear Trent was a little out of his element. Becasue the set took place during the day, there was a lack of the usual lighting equipment and the almost standard projection side of the show. This left the crowd with a few blinkers and other not so great lights. The daylight really seamed to bother Trent as he went though his set. A few malfunctions of equipment on stage lead to a bit of destruction. Even a nasty tumble mid-song didn't keep Trent from pounding out the tracks. The set list was a little unusual, drawing from a lot of their earlier work, and the inclusion of "I'm Afrraid of Americans" (a song co-written by David Bowie). I would guess most of the audience was with me in crossing our fingers that having that played may lead to the legendary 'Perfect Drug', we had no such luck. The crowd was treated to a small 'Goodbye' song at the start, and it really did make the show that much more amazing. The set was short, and what felt like an intermission saw the rise of JA and their blunder of a set. All and all a pretty crappy show, but for those who have followded Trent as he has come and gone in Toronto you will agree when I say it was amazing, and I wouldn't have missed it for the world :)

    NINJA played all the classics!

    by SD21 on 2009-07-13Molson Amphitheatre - Toronto

    A great show for 90's alt fans, who got to relive that period with a full selection of songs from NIN & JA. The sound quality and performance were good, and none of the best songs were left out.

    Beautiful

    by natnpat on 2009-07-13Molson Amphitheatre - Toronto

    We attended the first Janes Addication, NIN Toronto Lollaplooza concert. Both were fantastic. At this concert both bands were much more sophisticated and more technically tight.

    NIN was amazing

    by elcarmino on 2009-07-13Molson Amphitheatre - Toronto

    Nine Inch Nails was amazing as always but would have liked them to play longer. Didn't like Jane's Addiction at all......left the concert early because I couldn't take hearing them anymore.

    Good show..

    by sayhey on 2009-07-13Molson Amphitheatre - Toronto

    ...but not as good as the one in Hamilton a few months ago. And it was a bit too early a show in my opinion.
